About Me
Thank you for visiting my website! I am a New York based singer, multi-instrumentalist, dancer, theater artist, and educator of Thai and African American descent. I am passionate about storytelling through music, movement, and theater.
As a singer, I sing a range of repertoire, from French chanson and German lieder to folk and traditional music. I also feel personally connected to singing art songs by Black American composers such as Margaret Bonds, Florence Price, John Work and more. As an instrumentalist, I play the piano and several percussion instruments. However, I am currently on a deep dive of the banjo, lever harp, and the gourd-based shekere. As a dancer, I have studied and performed Modern Jazz, Dunham, Haitian, West African, Flamenco, and Samba dance forms.
Throughout my journey as an artist, I have discovered that everything I do is all connected through theater. Storytelling has been a powerful medium for me. Therefore, I immersed myself in the world of collaborative and devised theater with Peoples Theater Company and forum theater with the Theater of the Oppressed. I recently assistant directed a play called "The Diamond" written by Christin Eve Cato and directed by Chuk Obasi with the Peoples Theater Company that premiered at the Pregones Theater. I currently study acting and scene work at the Barrow Group in NYC.
I have been teaching music and movement to kids in NYC for 15 years. I teach general music classes to pre-K - 2nd grade and I also collaborate with a creative team facilitating devised original theater with 4th graders.
I love to make music at home with my partner and our three beautiful children.
When not making music or performing, I have a passion for eating desserts from Southeast Asia, especially ones with pandan and coconut.
